Um, not OK? Either there's a typo in the quoted text above and you're
actually testing with a file:// URL, or you're indeed testing with a
svn:// URL, which explains why you only get a client trace from gprof --
you're not actually profiling the server which is where the problem most
likely lies.

In some other post you mentioned that you got a whole lot of hanler
calls in svn_txdelta_send_txstream(); let me guess, one per 100k of file
data.

I'd also suggest you try a static build, i.e., by passing
--disable-shared --enable-static and CFLAGS=-pg to configure. That
should generate a statically-linked svn binary (except for non-svn
libraries), then make sure you create a new repository and use a file://
URL to test your data set. If gprof/oprofile still doesn't trace into
the libraries, then it's time to begin the head-scratching. :)

It's quite unlikely in my experience that you'll find the cause of this
kind of problem without a good runtime profile in hand.
